This recipe is in our Vol. 3 Cookbook
Tammy’s Hummingbird Cake
2 CUPS SUGAR
3 EGGS
3/4 CUP VEGETABLE OIL
1 TSP. CINNAMON
2 CUPS MASHED BANANAS
1/2 TSP. SALT
1 TSP. BAKING SODA
8 OZ. CAN CRUSHED PINEAPPLE (or larger can if you want to top cake with extra pineapple)
3 CUPS ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
1 TSP. VANILLA EXTRACT
1 CUP CHOPPED PECANS PLUS 1/2 CUP FOR TOP
Mix sugar, eggs, oil, bananas, 8 oz. crushed pineapple
and vanilla well. Then add baking soda, salt, &
cinnamon. Add flour and mix on medium speed for 1 1/2 minutes. Add 1 cup of chopped pecans, mix until
just incorporated. (Do not mix over 2 minutes total
after flour is added). Grease & flour three 8” round
cake pans OR two 9” round cake pans. Add pecans to
the bottom of one of the cake pans, then bake all cakes
at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean & the cake begins to pull away from
the sides of the pan.
Use the pecan-topped layer for the top. Ice cake
between layers and on sides with Cream Cheese Icing
(recipe on Page 106). (Do not ice the top of the cake).
Optional: Simmer the remaining pineapple with ½ cup brown sugar until it starts to thicken and use for top of cake.

I will have to say, that was one of the most beautiful cakes I have ever seen, and I am sure it was equally, if not even more delicious! 🤩😋 I am a borderline diabetic, but to have a slice of this magnificent cake would be worth the pounds I would put on, not to mention having my blood sugar soar to new heights. Thank you for cooking like your Mama and Grandma cooked. Your own ideas, coupled with theirs makes for a winning combination every time. May God continue to bless both you and Chris. Signing off from Greensboro, North Carolina very early on 8-5-24. 👍❤

The hummingbird cake recipe is a gift from Jamaica tourist board to America, Ms Wigan’s added the cream cheese frosting in Jamaica it’s also known as a doctor bird cake. The doctor bird is a hummingbird which is the national bird. Hence the name.

Sorry to crash the hummingbird video. I had expressed to you that I've been back logged on making your recipes because my husband's not been feeling well. I did JUST MAKE the gooey butter cake.OMG, how good is that!?!? He is eating some as I speak. Thank you so much! ❤

This seems to be the general recipe for the Hummingbird cake. I just made it for Mother’s Day ❤

WOW. Here in the U.K. I've never heard of Hummingbird cake. I love the idea of mixing pineapple with banana. I cannot wait to try making this cake as a two layer cake at first before getting too adventurous. I'll let you know the mess I get into !!!! But I also love the idea of using veg oil in the initial mix as opposed to creaming together butter with sugar. Guess what I'm cooking this weekend ?? Thank you for the inspiration and new ideas.

Another fantastic cake. Love watching your channel and trying recipes. I wonder if you could say the book # and page #? My vision is poor and I have a difficult time reading the small print in the index. Thanks for considering this idea.

Tammy! I grew up in MI, and my mom remembered the existence of this cake at some point in my younger teens! It became a staple at summer pool gatherings, but I haven't had it since I could say 'teen' with my age, and I got a little emotional at finding it!!

Thank you thank you thank you for this memory. I'm gonna bake a cake on my day off!

I JUST REMEMBERED how I was saying I wanted cake earlier, and my partner realized for me, how long it's been since I had cake. This is an oversight and shall be remided shortly.

[bowermancrystalmail]

Wow! You are such a good cake froster! I like the ripple effect on the sides!

[dejonscales]
